The 2008 Closing The Gap Conference offers over 200 sessions that describe and/or demonstrate successful applications of assistive technology for persons with disabilities. Sessions examine results of current applications, research, development of computer hardware, software, or adaptive devices, model programs, or procedures used by and for persons with disabilities.

Sessions emphasize practical applications rather than theoretical discourse. Through lecture, networking, demonstration, and hands-on lab sessions, assistive technology users of every level of expertise can find valuable information at the 2008 event. Presentations for experienced practitioners focus on needs of persons actively using assistive technology in education, rehabilitation, vocation, or independent living - typically intermediate to advanced level computer users.

For those who are just being introduced to assistive technology, the conference provides a range of presentations that meets needs across the assistive technology experience continuum and facilitates a balanced interchange between special educators and rehabilitation professionals.

Graduate-level academic credit and CEUs are available. Learn more.

Presentations titles will be announced in August, 2008
